Ah cheers, very kind!
I think it's gonna be hard to find cheap spares, as it's one of the fancier XT hubs with the wide hollow axle and the matching freehub. The current equivalent is FH-M8000 but this is the specific one I have: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/deorext-m780/FH-M785.html
This is exactly why I'd want to go for something lower end/older if I'm switching the wheel - I have a bucket of basic Shimano spares kicking about that would've made this whole thing a lot easier!

I might have some freehub bodies lying around. Not sure if they'd work though. Probably off Computrainer hubs and 10spd and I only have old non-dyanamo road front hubs to get rid of.
Shimano rear MTB hubs are only £25-35 aren't they? ebay used wheelsets?
